Hey guys, welcome back again to Ken
Tamplin Vocal Academy where the proof is
in the singing!
I got a few requests for this one. It's an
unusual request and the request was how
do I sing well in English if English
isn't my first language and that's a big
subject and if you've noticed I have
quite a few people that are very
international on my site and we work
through this subject. I have a singing
course called How To Sing Better Than
Anyone Else and I walk everyone through
the process of this, but I want to give
you some information that will be
helpful for you. The first thing is is
there's what's called the the universal
language of vowels. Okay? Now they're
basically based on Latin of the Latin
vowel system so ah, aa, eh, EE, oh, ooh. Okay?
Ah, aa, Aye, EE, Oh, Ooh. So if we can get muscle memory to
get those vowels together we will win
and we'll be able to get to the next
step of how you can sing in English
without people detecting an accent.
Now I have a lot of students that are
awesome! Gabriela Guncikova, like oh
Alyona Yarushina, like all these people
that have worked really hard on this
that have conquered this. And it's kind
of funny, because I want you to look
up a guy named Jussi Biorling I'll put
his name on the screen right now who
could sing in Italian and sing in Latin
and sing in English without an accent.
Because he worked on it. I think was
Swedish, right? Swedish Norwegian Swedish
so anyway, so as we go through this
stuff, what we do is, we just work up some
simple vowels first, and then we work on
how we get the consonants to place
within the English language.
Now I'm not gonna... I'm gonna do something.
Guys, please know I'm not trying to make
fun of languages here, or people and I'm
not racist in any way, shape, or form. But
I want to just say that I deal with like
you know, we we have people from all over
the world. If I were to teach someone
from Sweden, and you Swedes out there are
gonna laugh at me for saying this. You
know
they have really closed down vowel
sounds I just need to open them up
that's all. Just open up the vowels, and I
can get aa, Oh Aye, EE, Ah, Ooh, right? If I have someone from
with someone from Russia it'd be and now I
must break you. I must do these things
and so there's all this
different muscle structure that I deal
with every single day
and again it covered all this in my
course and I promise you guys I am NOT
trying to make fun of people's languages
the question was how can I sing in
English maybe they're all right and
we're wrong I don't know how can I sing
in English and not detect have a
detection, you know, my accent so how we
open up the muscle structure and we
create these vowels first and build
muscle memory and then we just add
consonants enough of them just to be
able to do this. Now, ironically, some of
the greatest opera singers in the world
have come from Germany. They've come from
Sweden. There's some killer Japanese
opera guys. I could go on and on Russian
oh my gosh like there's so many great
composers that have come you know
through this thing. So what I want to do
is I just want to give you the
information on the best way this can
help you. And again, this is for my
international students out there.
Asking how to do this. I cover this in my
course and I hope - hopefully this
information was helpful to you. Peace. Out.
